Judge Mrs A Challenger

I would like to thank the committee for the appointment. A well run day with a lovely lunch. Thank you to my super stewards for looking after me and the ring so well and lastly a big thank you to the exhibitors for entering their lovely dogs. Presentation of the dogs was fabulous and I have to say what a lovely atmosphere on the day, it was my pleasure to judge you.

Dogs

Minor Puppy Dog

1st Woodhead's Nikara Secret Wish With Pashka, 6 mths, so much promise in one so young, loved him. A well balanced picture, correct wedge shaped head, flat skull and broad muzzle, dark almond shaped and slanted eye, plush ears set well apart. Arched neck running into well placed shoulder angles, deep chest and good rib cage, strong loin and well angulated hindquarters. Moved very well all round, delighted to give him BPD & BPIS.

2nd Thomas' Nikara Secret Agent, 6 mths, brother to 1, both very promising puppies. Similar points apply overall but he was slightly longer cast in body and slightly narrower in muzzle. Not so mature as 1. Also moved well.

Puppy Dog

1st Cross' Tiksi Moonglow, 9 mths, another super pup that when I saw the name I realized was a pup I gave a group to a couple of weeks before and the same to his sister north of the country a week or so later, a promising litter. He has a wedge shaped head, flat skull, broad medium length muzzle, slanted almond shaped eye, plush ears set well apart, good length arched neck running into well made forequarters, correct depth of chest and well sprung ribs with powerful loin, correct hindquarters giving him sound movement.

Junior Dog

1st Mann's Nikara Dream Maker, just a youngster but an impressive well balanced dog of medium size and bone, a lovely smile. Wedge shaped head with broad flat skull and medium length tapering muzzle, dark obliquely set almond shaped eye, rounded plush ears set wide apart, arched neck fitting well into laid back shoulders. Correct breadth of body and strong loin, deep chest with well sprung ribs, well angulated hindquarters, strong agile movement, delighted to give him BD & and later a well deserved BIS.
